This dish was created as a healthy light fish option on the menu. It covers all the important ingredients that our bodies need and is perfect in hot tropical temperatures. It fits fantastically well with a glass of sauvignon blanc for a lunch on the terrace overlooking the Andaman Sea. With a touch of Asia the dish is developed with a strong Mediterranean influence. Over time the tuna in sesame crust has become one of our most requested dishes on the menu.
